What is an ‘outsider?’
What might ‘Outsider Art’ look like?
In this assembly we meet Veijo Ronkkonen
Veijo lived and worked at the same location for his entire life
After his death, people discovered that he had created his own magical and peculiar world
This unique assembly will captivate and enthral children of all ages
In 1991, two walkers out exploring in the Alps stumbled across a 5,000 year old mummified body.
The oldest naturally mummified body ever found, ‘Otzi the Iceman’ told scientists much – but not who murdered him!
Examine the evidence and see if you can you solve this ancient murder mystery.
A captivating and fascinating assembly story.
Use the resources for a creative writing follow up, or set as a homework task.
This assembly story never fails to ignite the imagination!
A series of PowerPoint slides guide you through the story - examining different sources of evidence and encouraging the children to infer and deduce each clue.
Challenge them to justify their ideas by backing up with evidence they have been presented with.
Works beautifully as a one-off assembly story, but additional resources mean it can be turned into a writing task - either creative writing or report writing.
I have used it as the basis of whole school homework tasks - it’s an amazing story that will captivate the children and fire their imaginations.
